Fu Shitian closed her eyes instinctively. The splashing water hit her face and wet the fine hair on her cheeks.
Everything happened in an instant. The water drops flowing down Fu Shitian's cheeks were magnified in front of Shi Yi's eyes like a slow motion, dripping -
It exploded in her heart. Very hot and panicking.
Without bothering to wipe the water off her face, she reached out to touch the shoulder of Fu Shitian that was hit, but she didn't dare to. "Are you okay?" She threw away the cardboard box and used her other hand to support Fu Shitian's shoulder that was hit.
Chen Xizhu also stood closer, and asked anxiously, "Are you okay?"
"Fuck, who's that idiot? I'm going to beat him to death." She was furious.
Water balloons look soft, but the gravity of falling from a high altitude is no joke. She, a liberal arts student, knows this.
"I'm fine." Fu Shitian forced himself to open his eyes and looked at Shi Yi through the mist. "It just hurts a little bit. Are you okay?"
"It's okay." Shi Yi helped her back several steps, to the relatively safe shadow of the tree. "Can you move your shoulder?"
"Okay. It's okay. It fell from the second floor."
"Luckily it's only on the second floor." Chen Xizhu followed and breathed a sigh of relief. "If it was any higher, it would be terrible. It's so uncivilized."
"Are you really okay?" Shi Yi touched the shoulder where Fu Shitian was hit.
Fu Shitian wiped the water off her face and smiled, "It's really okay." She moved the shoulder that was hit and pretended to be relaxed, "It doesn't hurt at all."
Chen Xizhu handed her a tissue, and Shi Yi took it directly. He frowned, lowered his eyes, and carefully helped her wipe away the moisture on her eyelids, cheeks, and neck.
Fu Shitian's breathing became disordered instantly, his neck was stiff, and he didn't move. Chen Xizhu wanted to say something, but he kept silent after opening his mouth.
"Did you see which balcony it is?" Shi Yi asked in a low voice.
Fu Shitian resisted the tingling feeling and looked at the dormitory building in front of him. "It should be the balcony on the second floor with the red shorts hanging on it."
Shi Yi finished wiping, crumpled the wet tissue into a ball and held it in his hand, his thin lips pressed into a line, a storm was about to come, "Xizhu, you go back with Si Tian to change clothes first, I'll go over."
"Shi Yi." Fu Shitian grabbed her wrist.
Shi Yi said calmly, "It's okay, I'll go over and remind the dormitory manager."
Fu Shitian didn't dare to let go, "Then... let Xizhu go over and tell him, can you accompany me back?"
Chen Xizhu also felt that Shi Yi's aura was not right, so she quickly responded, "Yes, I'll go, I'll go. I've just memorized the Tort Liability Law, and I can scare them a few words to get their attention. You accompany Si Tian back." With that, she ran away.
Shi Yi looked at Chen Xizhu's receding back, her brows furrowed even tighter. She turned back and looked at Fu Shitian, who awkwardly let go of her hand, "Let's... go?"
Shi Yi didn't say anything, he just walked to the side and picked up the cardboard box thrown on the ground, poured the contents into the bucket that Fu Shitian had placed at his feet, and then handed the cardboard box to Fu Shitian, "Hold it, block it."
Fu Shitian followed her line of sight and saw his chest was wet and transparent. His cheeks felt hot and he quickly took the cardboard box and held it high to cover the wet area.
Shi Yi lifted the bucket and glimpsed her shoulder straps from behind. He put his arm around her shoulders and half-huggled her into his arms. "Your back is very transparent."
Fu Shitian's breathing was completely disordered and she didn't know where to put her hands and feet, but Shi Yi had already started walking with her.
Fu Shitian suspected that his brain was no longer in his body. He was completely unable to think and his legs were moving only instinctively.
Even the wind was hot on a summer night, and Fu Shitian's eyes were wet as if a thin layer of sweat had formed.
From time to time, classmates passed by, bringing rustling sounds, but Fu Shitian ignored them. In her ears, there was only the faint breathing of Shi Yi and the chaotic sound of her own heartbeat.
Shi Yi was very silent, too silent. Fu Shitian didn't react until they had walked for a while.
She turned her head and saw Shi Yi's icy face just a few feet away from her. "Shi Yi... are you in a bad mood?" she asked gently.
Shi Yi glanced at her out of the corner of his eye. He didn't want to say anything, but when his eyes met her nervous look, his heart softened again.
Last time she promised that I would tell her if I was unhappy.
"Why don't you let me through?" She stared at the road ahead. "Do you think I'll make a big deal out of this?"
Fu Shitian bit her lip and said softly, "No."
"Um?"
"All the people living in that building are boys, and I'm... worried that you'll be bullied."
Shi Yi was stunned for two seconds, then turned to look at Fu Shitian. Fu Shitian lowered his head to look at the road below, not daring to look up.
"Then you let Xizhu go?"
"Xizhu won't go looking for that boy."
Shi Yi was speechless, "Am I so easy to bully?"
Fu Shitian could hear the melting tone in her voice, and he knew what to do and said softly, "No."
Spineless. Shi Yi laughed, "So, take care of yourself first."
Fu Shitian was touched by her smile and mustered up the courage to joke, "Won't you protect me?"
As soon as she asked the question, she felt ashamed and wanted to cover her face. Was the question too strange, too ambiguous
Shi Yi wanted to say "no", but for some reason, when she looked at Fu Shitian's red ears, she smiled softly again.
It seemed to contain a hint of helplessness, or even doting.
Fu Shitian's heart was instantly blown up to the clouds by her smile, and he felt like he was floating in the air, with his thoughts dancing.
Shi Yi, you are not like this to all your friends, right? Fu Shitian found that he seemed to be successfully brainwashed by Chen Xizhu.
It was a short distance, but because the two of them walked leaning against each other, it took them half the time to get there.
In dormitory 1510, Yin Fanlu and Jian Luhe were both there, and they were surprised to see their clothes were wet. Shi Yi raised his chin to signal Fu Shitian to explain to them, and went to the balcony with a frown, closing the balcony door.
After Fu Shitian gave a brief explanation, he climbed onto the bed to get clothes from the closet, and saw through the glass that Shi Yi was on the phone.
The air conditioner was humming, and Shi Yi's voice was completely inaudible. Fu Shitian collected his thoughts, got out of bed with his clothes, and went to the bathroom to wash his hair and take a shower.
When she came out after washing, Chen Xizhu had already returned and was actually helping Yin Fanlu wipe the desk and chair. "Are you done washing? Have you looked at your shoulders in the mirror? Are you really okay?" She stopped and asked.
Shi Yi also stopped arranging the bookshelf.
Fu Shitian wiped his hair and smiled: "I saw it, there's not even any red."
Chen Xizhu was relieved. "I went up with the dormitory auntie and warned the boy. The boy was heartbroken and was drinking alone in the dormitory. He got drunk and played pranks. The dormitory auntie said she would watch him and wait until his roommates came back before leaving."
"That's good."
Just as he finished speaking, Yin Fanlu pushed the door open and came in, carrying five cups of milk tea and a bag of fried chicken and octopus balls. "It's finally delivered. I'm starving. Come on, everyone, come for a midnight snack."
"Sister Lu, you want to make me fat to death." Jian Luhe said with disgust, but happily took the milk tea handed to her by Yin Fanlu.
Yin Fanlu was sharing her midnight snack and casually said, "It seems like someone in our school has committed a crime. When I was picking up my takeaway, I heard someone saying that a police car had just arrived and took someone away from the third-year male dormitory."
Isn’t the third-year boys’ dormitory the same one they just passed by
Subconsciously, Fu Shitian and Chen Xizhu both cast their glances at Shi Yi.
Shi Yi pierced the surface of the milk tea cup with a straw and poked it down nonchalantly, "I called the police."
"!" Everyone in the dormitory was shocked.
Shi Yi said calmly, "I have asked, but there will be no record. It is just a warning to the school and property management to pay more attention to the publicity and education of throwing objects from high places in the future."
"By the way, help him sober up."
He is a ruthless person. Chen Xizhu swallowed the pearl in his mouth.
Yin Fanlu helped her to express her complaints, "Shi Yi, do you know what you look like right now?"
Shi Yi looked at her expressionlessly.
"A female demon who kills people without blinking an eye and cuts off their throats with one sword"
"Hahahahahaha." Jian Luhe was amused. Chen Xizhu was amazed that Yin Fanlu and she had the same idea. She happily made sword gestures with her hands, and her laughter lingered above the dormitory.
Shi Yi glanced at Fu Shitian. Fu Shitian was holding a cup of milk tea and looking at her. When he noticed her gaze, he curved his eyebrows and obviously did not look unhappy.
Shi Yi looked away, with the corners of his lips curled up.
After everyone finished their midnight snack with laughter, Chen Xizhu went out with half a cup of milk tea and returned to her dormitory. Fu Shitian, Shi Yi and the others continued to tidy up the dormitory. They were busy until after twelve o'clock before they turned off the lights and went to bed.
Perhaps because everyone was tired, no one was in the mood to chat at night, and soon the dormitory was so quiet that the only sound was the air conditioner.
Fu Shitian and Shi Yi were sleeping opposite each other. The bed curtains had not been installed yet, so the two of them were lying head to head with only two bed rails between them.
Like a dream, she not only came to Shencheng and breathed under the same sky as Shi Yi, but even on nights when the air conditioner was not turned on, she could fall asleep listening to Shi Yi's breathing.
Fu Shitian hugged the little rabbit in his arms, resisting the urge to turn over and peek at Shi Yi, and he couldn't fall asleep at all.
At around 3 a.m., the phone vibrated. Fu Shitian, half asleep and half awake, touched it and took a look. It was a message from Chen Xizhu crying, "Wuwuwuwu, Shitian, my tooth hurts."
"It hurts so much, I can't sleep."
"It must be the problem with Yin Fanlu's cup of milk tea. I have never tasted milk tea that sweet! She must have done it on purpose. I have had a toothache these past two days, and I specifically told her that I wanted it without sugar! She clearly added more sugar to the one she gave me!"
"Wow, how can there be someone so petty? I even helped her clean the tables and chairs!"
Fu Shitian was thinking about replying to her, and had already sent the message "Does it hurt a lot? Do you have ibuprofen? Otherwise, take some painkillers first and see a doctor tomorrow" in her mind. In fact, her fingers did not move at all as instructed, and sleepiness completely took her away.
The phone fell on the pillow.
Chen Xizhu was left alone, talking to herself: "Si Tian, I've thought about it carefully, Shi Yi is really not right with you. When she was helping you wipe the water tonight, the look in her eyes made me almost melt."
"I suspect she's not straight at all, or she's already bent and doesn't even know it!"
…
"Wow, my tooth hurts again now. Ah, Yin Fanlu, I will remember her!"
It was around four in the morning when Shi Yi got up to go to the bathroom. When he came back and climbed up the ladder, he inadvertently looked down and noticed Fu Shitian's sleeping face.
She was hugging something, curled up in the air-conditioned quilt, with only the upper half of her face exposed. Her thick eyelashes shone with a shiny dark luster under the night light, like a cute little fan.
Shi Yi paused on the ladder.
After looking at it for several seconds, she came to her senses and wondered if she was cold.
Shi Yi turned back and turned up the air conditioner temperature by two degrees.
The author has something to say: Chen Xizhu also wanted to raise a rabbit, so he decided to go to Shi Yi's house to learn how to raise a rabbit.
After one day of observation, she had a toothache when she got home and couldn't sleep all night.
The next day, she came to Shi Yi's house, looking haggard, and demanded that Shi Yi compensate her.
Shi Yi:
The little rabbit poked its head out of Shi Yi's arms:
Shi Yi subconsciously rubbed the rabbit
Chen Xizhu covered his cheek and took several steps back in fear: I'm sorry, I was wrong, I disturbed you!
Rushed out of the door.
Shi Yi and Little Bunny:
What's wrong with her
Chen Xizhu's eyes were filled with tears: It's all because of you guys' sweetness that I got this problem.
It’s so hard for me, woooo.
